| Summary: |
On a wall, A young Teddy Roosevelt draws an image of himself as an adult. He also has drawn a group of men who he has labeled Charlie Murphy, Penrose, and Bill Barnes. Some of the letters in their names are written backwards so that it looks like a child's handwriting. On July 22, 1914 Roosevelt accused Bill Barnes, owner of the Albany Times-Union, of corruption and of working with two known political bosses, Boies Penrose and Charlie Murphy. His comments were published in newspapers across the country. The following day Barnes filed a suit against Roosevelt. At the conclusion of the trial, Roosevelt was found innocent and Barnes' political career was over. |
